Safara 4.0.01 update...internet now crawls!

did the update this morning, and internet access is painfully slow. Other machines on same network connection running plenty fast. This is on a wired connection in my office. Haven't tried wireless but would image same issue.

You mean the 4.0.1 update, right? Anyway this is why I update anything after a while. (1 week+)

oops. yes, the 4.0.1 update. I've re-booted and same thing. Very slow loading pages on almost every site. Can't un-install unfortunately (very Windows like ) but will just try re-installing and crossing fingers.

New safari sucks, it crashes every other minute and freezes while scrolling through big threads.

Yeah, I've been having this same problem. It freezes while scrolling down a page and the I get the perpetual spinning color wheel with nothing working and I have to force-quit (and when I do, the window says, "Safari not responding").

Hopefully the same won't be true for Apple, who need to fix this bug and send out an update...

Safari updates hadn't resolved the horrible speed on ethernet, so today I decided to delete my network connections and re-configure. And that fixed the problem. Something in that update of Safari messed up the ethernet, but at least it's working again. Strange that wireless was just fine but not ethernet but relieved to have the speed back.
